B. Getting "inside" information about the unique practices of competitors is particularly difficult.
C. Since companies that compete with each other are likely to have comparable levels of efficiency, only benchmarking against non competitors is likely to reveal practices that would aid in beating competitors.
D. Managers are generally more receptive to new ideas that they find outside their own industry.
